6.3 Main line ohase inversion.<br />

The sonic quality of your GOLD CUBE may be slightly improved<br />

if the main AC line is properly connected. Try to invert the plug<br />

of your amplifier, using a special adapter.<br />

We recommend that you proceed caref ully to try this. You must<br />

do it in combination with the speaker polarity and/or with absolute<br />

phase switching to be sure of the result.<br />

SAFETY FEATURES<br />

The <strong>GOLDMUND</strong> GOLD CUBE amplifier provides very sophisticated<br />

features to protectthe amplifierandthe speaker against all<br />

kind of mishandle or comoonent failure.<br />

Protection against DC.<br />

The GOLD CUBE is a DC-coupled amplifier. lf the associated<br />

preamplifier is badly designed or defective (often true for the<br />

tube preamps), the speaker could be damaged. The detection<br />

circuit of the GOLD CUBE is totally immune to any sonic effect<br />

but will immediately switch off the speaker if such a malf unction<br />

occurs.<br />

The speaker will be immediately and automatically reconnected<br />

as soon as the perturbation disappears.<br />

Protection against HF oscillations.<br />

In the same way, the speaker will be disconnected if a large<br />

amount of high frequency oscillation is present and shows a<br />

danger forthe tweeters, even if these frequencies remain unnoticed.<br />

The amplifier returns to normal if the oscillation disappears.<br />

Protection against short-circuits.<br />

lf one output is short-circuited by accident and the current<br />

becomes too high, one of the rail fuse may blow.<br />

In this case, the small LED located at the top ofthe defective fuse<br />

lid will glow.<br />

To replace the defective fuse, switch the amplifier off for 1O<br />

minutes f irst. Then open the top f use cover with a coin or a large<br />

screwdriver. The f use loader is then accessible under the golden<br />

cover and must be removed by turning it off with a screwdriver.<br />
